What the fuck happened?

The entire concept of streaming games was a bad idea from the start.

Google releases a shit ton of products and at least most of them are now defunct, why would this garbage be any different?

Not enough games, botched release, No communication, no hype, etc.

>Have to buy games for Stadia specifically
>Required high internet speeds, or latency becomes unbearable
>Features were not as advertised, games were not in 4k for example
>negative latency ended up being nothing but marketing
>no real assurance from Google after launch that they'll have the patience to sort through the teething issues

It's honestly a forward-thinking 10/10 idea, brought down by poor execution. People would only care about this if they could play their own games and the experience was only slightly worse than on hardware in front of you. You can also rig together a personal "Stadia" type server if you're a technowizard. This should've really prioritized low latency and focused on super casual gamers, literally babby's first console, instead of the core gaming group they targeted instead.

Even if stadia did take off, what were they planning to do with the official controller, which was NOT user serviceable without destroying it

if someone has good internet then why the fuck not just download the games

I fully expect that we'll see a number of VPS-type services for gaming.

Just buy another one goy

complete and utter failure of the marketing department
up to the day of release people still thought it's a netflix deal where you get everything for one price

The point is not needing a console and/or a powerful PC to run the games

Anyone who thought this would work with burger isps is a complete retard.

maybe when 5g is in peoples homes. my upload speed is literally like 1.5 mbps lol

self fulfilling prophecy

so why did it cost £120 when for £5 more I can buy an actual local console that will also soon have a streaming service

it still costs 130€ so what's the fucking point then
130€ for a fucking controller?

>Literally every interviewed developer mentioned, without prompting, that their biggest concern was Google abandoning the product

Literally the easiest avoidable issue, and they just walked right into it.

The same thing that always happens
>DRM on top of existing DRM makes people even less eager to buy your product
>Streaming requires lightning fast internet to function as well as a game installed directly on the PC
>Need the internet regardless if the game's single player or multiplayer
>Pay for the game, pay for the PC and how about you pay for the platform that you play them on.
Why would it ever go right?

They're so rich they just don't care.

Anyone know how GeForce Now (or whatever it's called) is doing compared to this?

why didn't they do something like gamepass?
a no download, no install, just play whatever from a big list of games makes sense for something like stadia
make it like netflix but for games

That's what PS Now is.

I don't think even google knew

Not everyone who's involved with a project actually believes in it. Could have been a joke made by whoever set up the display, that went over the heads of management.

They might don't even know how it works. Just slap modern buzzwords (4k 60fps) and done.
All marketing expert using Google are doing nothing but guesswork.

All of the displays were of things that failed originally but paved way for the future. The idea was that streaming has failed before but now Google will do it right. They fucked up the message though, the last display should have been OnLive to continue the list of failures.
